Hugo

It’s 20:30 on a Sunday evening. My partner practically had to drag me out for a walk earlier to “turn off my brain.” Didn’t work. I’m back at my desk, Stalker 2 installed and untouched, Settlers 3 sitting there, Battle for Middle-earth gathering digital dust. What am I doing instead? Configuring RSS feeds and building automatic cover image systems for my blog. Yeah. I’m that kind of nerd. The Weekend Project Spiral Weekends don’t mean much when you’re constantly thinking about projects. I thought I’d work on the Vagrant WSL2 provider today - it’s been going well, making solid progress. But it’s Sunday, maybe I should relax? ...

The Setup: A Simple Task Before Work Tomorrow I have to go to the office. Early. Way too early. So tonight, I thought I’d do something simple and “quick” with my blog. You know, easy stuff: Write a few blog posts Update the projects list Maybe organize something Wait… there was that blog post I wrote about setting up multiple git users in different directories. And something about global gitignore. Which machine did I write that on? Let me search for it. ...

Not Today I wasn’t planning to do any development today. I’m visiting family, but of course I brought my laptop - it’s like my keys at this point. A key to the digital world, if you want to be poetic about it. I wanted to show my sibling what AI tools I’ve been using. Started with Claude Code (naturally), but also installed Ollama and LM Studio to demonstrate what’s possible with local models, especially with RooCode. ...

The Plan vs. Reality Remember my last post about fucking off and resetting? About how I should focus on small, low-stress tasks during vacation? Yeah. About that. I decided to look at my local blog version. Just checking what’s missing, you know? Casual Sunday morning browsing. Then I visited my friend Márton’s site at omnitiker.eu. Nice clean design. Professional. And right there - a downloadable CV. “Oh yeah,” my brain said. “I used to have that too. I should add that back.” ...

I Hate PowerPoint Let me get this out of the way: I haven’t touched PowerPoint since middle school. I forgot how it works. I don’t want to remember. When I worked at BitNinja, I had to give presentations all the time. Technical talks, demos, explanations. Every time someone said “can you prepare some slides?” I died a little inside. Not because I hate presenting - I actually enjoy it. I hate the tools. ...

The Setup I’m on vacation. I opened Claude Code with a simple question: “What small blog tasks can I knock out today?” The answer: way more than I expected. What We Actually Did 1. Reorganized Blog Posts by Year The Problem: 45 blog posts in a single flat directory (content/posts/). Hard to navigate, messy structure. The Fix: content/posts/ ├── 2021/ ├── 2022/ ├── 2023/ ├── 2024/ └── 2025/ Simple bash commands: ...

How I went from an overengineered Docker + Tilt.dev setup to just running Hugo directly, and why sometimes simpler is better.
